Would a young black man saunter into the way of a pack of riot police and be shocked to be shoved out of the way and not have them all stop what they are doing and hang on his every word instead? Like the Chinese guy in front of the tanks, the black girl, Ieshia L. Evans a few years back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've spent their lives in a different world. One in which, if a police officer assaulted them on camera, there would be repercussions. The rules of their world have been changed, at least temporarily. Young black men are taught, if you see the police coming, you run, whether you've committed a crime or not. In some states, their grandparents still remember when the police arriving in a black neighbourhood meant there's gonna be a lynching. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the police finally overcoming their racism? Cracking old white skulls with the gusto usually reserved for young black skulls. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a slightly mad conversation with my wife who showed me a supercut of some of the police's greatest hits (literally and figuratively) over the last few days in tears and got a bit pissed off with me for reacting by shrugging my shoulders and saying "yes those are American police that's what they do". But really what am I supposed to say? It's like something Limmy said once about those ISIS beheading videos where he's like "Yup that's terrible. That confirms what I thought about these people. What am I supposed to do with this information?". It's a bit like Dorlomin whining about us discussing this instead of Xi being a brutal and scary dictator. Well yeah.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True racial equality will be when packs of them start beating old white women to death. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Police in America are a very strange breed indeed. Most provincial places they are no more than security guards with next to no legal knowledge or investigative training. They are also hideously gun happy and enter almost every situation at a ridiculously heightened level of aggression. Once you start off at that level you can't really back off or de escalate the situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was a riot police division that only dealt with scumbags like breaking up Tommy Robinson rallies then that would be my dream job!

BFTD Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Can't believe I forgot to mention this, but (in some states, at least), did you know that they have volunteer police who carry firearms? My father-in-law was one. He used to brag about the illegal shit he got up to around the dinner table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In New York City alone there are six privately run police forces with the legal right to arrest and carry firearms. (There are 16 publicly funded services with power of arrest in New York City plus the 8 publicly ran services with power of arrest in New York State plus about 100 federal agencies that can do so) Policing in America is a clusterfuck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scale of the ignorance, the scale and level of racism and the simple logistics of trying to tackle a problem of this magnitude. The politicians need to try and the public need to support them but trying to de escalate, let alone fix it, just seems a gargantuan task. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I'm not going to have some jackbooted Stasi stormtrooper, right, coming in here, telling me whether I can or cannot defecate in my own home while eating my Sunday roast. This exactly how Nazi Germany started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
